Bringing you all some springtime vibes with this Sheet Pan Lemon Rosemary Dijon Chicken and Potatoes with Feta Goddess Sauce. Lemon, rosemary and Dijon marinated chicken roasted alongside sesame-crusted potatoes and spring asparagus. Topped with a creamy garlicky feta goddess sauce and any herbs you can find. This is quick, easy, extra colorful, super flavorful, and so delicious. The perfect dinner to serve any night of the week. Promise this is not your average sheet pan dinner. It’s so DELICIOUS and the leftovers make for an awesome lunch the following day.
Happy (Easter) Monday! Hoping you all had a great Easter Sunday and enjoyed some delicious food, had fun cooking and baking, and all-in-all just relaxed a bit. It’s weird, this past month has felt almost as though we’ve traveled back in time to fall. With the world being in self-isolation, it’s felt like much more of a cozy comfort food kind of time, versus a light-fresh spring eats kind of time. Wouldn’t you agree?
You all know I love cozy comfort food more than anything. But with Easter already behind us, and a taste of spring weather this past week (we’re now back to snow with up to a foot expected today), I’m ready for some actual spring recipes. That said, grocery store trips are limited. So I’m using what’s in my freezer, my pantry, and ordering fresh herbs online.
Enter this sheet pan lemon rosemary Dijon chicken. It looks like spring, and it tastes like spring, but somehow I put this together with ingredients I had on hand. Butcher Box chicken from the freezer, asparagus from the fridge, and potatoes plus mustard from the pantry. Technically, not all are “pantry staples”, but close to it, as least for me.
I gotta say, I’m pretty happy that I’ve been able to pull off so many new recipes with very few grocery store trips. I think I’ve picked up a new skill…
We will see how long it lasts once things get back to normal. But I’m trying to have fun with this new challenge and be creative.
Start off by marinating the chicken in a Dijon mustard, garlic, and lemon marinade. The mustard not only helps to tenderize the chicken but adds a savory flavor that I love when paired with lemon and rosemary. Since working with my pantry staples, I’ve been using mustard to really help add flavor to recipes.
While the chicken is marinating, start roasting the potatoes. I find these take a little longer to cook than the chicken, so I like to give them a head
start. The potatoes are tossed with raw sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. You can, of course, omit the sesame seeds, but I enjoy the flavor and slight crunch they add.
Once the potatoes have been roasting for a bit, slide them to one side of the pan. Then add the chicken and toss on some asparagus too. I love the idea of an all-in-one dinner, so I want to be sure to not only include potatoes, but also something green.
Return the pan to the oven, and roast some more. As the chicken roasts your kitchen is going to fill with lemony, garlicky scents and hints of rosemary too.
As you might expect, I couldn’t share this recipe without including a sauce. You all know how it goes around here, never enough sauce. Enter my feta “goddess” sauce. It’s whipped feta cheese, with a bit of yogurt, lemon, and whatever herbs you have on hand or love the most.
The salty feta creates an addicting sauce. Every spoonful is delicious, but it’s especially great over this dijon chicken.
Once the chicken comes out of the oven, serve it up alongside the roasted potatoes and asparagus. If you have some fresh herbs or greens on hand, toss on some of those. If not, no worries, just drizzle on the feta sauce and enjoy.
Simple, easy, healthy, and delicious.
Love the idea of this sheet pan dinner as a Monday night dinner. But honestly, it’s great any night of the week.
When it comes to ingredient substitutes, there are so many for this recipe. If you don’t have fresh herbs, use dried. The garlic and shallots can be replaced with garlic powder and onion powder.
For the asparagus, really any vegetable works here. Broccoli or brussels sprouts would be my next picks, but cauliflower, carrots, and bell peppers could all be great!
The ingredients you NEED…chicken, Dijon, and potatoes. If you have these three things you can create something delicious no matter what. So with that, raid your freezer, search the fridge for your dying vegetables, and rummage through the pantry for herbs and spices. Then make this sheet pan Dijon chicken…trust me, it will make your night.

Do you have any suggestions for an alternate sauce other than feta? Not a huge fan of feta but the recipe itself looks delicious!
Hey Michelle,
Another cheese like goat would be awesome! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Hi this looks great! Do you have any suggestions for a sauce that’s non-dairy? Thank you!
Hey Amy,
I would use a dairy free yogurt, and a dairy free feta if you can find it! I hope you love the recipe. Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy New Year! xTieghan
I wish I made like 8x the potatoes because they are FIRE
Hey Katie,
I am so thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Hi, do you discard the marinade or add it to the pan with the chicken?
Love your recipes!
Hey Myriam,
You can go ahead and add the marinade to the pan. I hope you love the recipe. If you have any other questions, please let me know! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Hi,
Do you discard the marinade or add it in the pan with the chicken? Thanks.
Hey Myriam,
You can add the marinade to the pan! I hope you love the recipe. If you have any other questions, please let me know! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Hi! Would it be okay to use a ceramic baking dish rather than a rimmed baking sheet? Would it just take longer to cook or you do not recommend it at all? I am excited to try this dish but I don’t have a rimmed baking sheet.
Hey Ece,
A ceramic baking dish would be fine to use. I hope you love the recipe. If you have any other questions, please let me know! Happy New Year! xTieghan
Wow this was delicious! I used Brussels sprouts because that’s what I had on hand. Will definitely make again.
Hey Holly,
I am thrilled that you enjoyed the recipe, thanks so much for giving it a try! Happy New Year! xTieghan
My one complaint is the serving size. 6 people? Yeah, if this was mediocre which it is far from. It seems so basic and easy, but it is incredibly delicious. Two of us finished everything. The chicken marinade with the feta sauce had us licking our plates. What is also great about a sheet pan is you can use any veg. We used carrots instead of asparagus as the store was all out. The chicken is the star and she shines so bright.
Hey Jason,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, I am so glad it was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
My family loved this recipe! Prepared the chicken hours before and let the mustard sauce really marinate-it was delicious! HBH is literally saving me this holiday, with a house full of kids on break who are always hungry and sick of my usual go-to recipes!
thank you so much for your creativity!
Hey Jennifer,
Thanks so much for giving the recipe a go, I am thrilled it was enjoyed! Happy New Year! xTieghan
While family loved it!
Thank you so much Anna! xTieghan
So good!! My whole family loved it!!!
Thank you Blaire! I am so happy to hear that! xTieghan
Loved this dish as well as most of Tiegan’s recipes. The marinate was delicious but I added preserved lemon which added lemon flavour but not acidity. We are not fans of soft veggies so I added the asparagus in the last 10 minutes and it worked. I had leftover sauce and added oil and salt.pepper and had a great salad dressing.
This sounds tasty! Can you use goat cheese instead of feta?
Hey Britt,
Sure that would be great! I hope you love the recipe, please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Tried this tonight and it was delicious! Much more flavor than I was expecting even without the sauce. I will definitely make this again.
Thank you so much Mallory! xTieghan
The marinade was great, but tough to serve chicken that doesn’t look fully cooked to my kids. I found the potatoes to be completely bland. I love so many of your recipes, but this one took a lot of time and didn’t quite get the response I had hoped for from my family.
Hi Brooke! I am sorry about that! Is there anything I can help with or anything that could have gone wrong while making this? Please let me know! xTieghan
